St. Joseph's Church, The Chanler Hotel, Lianne and Rudy's Wedding Day

What an amazing wedding weekend! Lianne and I developed a strong connection at our first meeting.  She told me that family and friends were more important to her than this being just her wedding day.

Lianne organized and planned her entire wedding with the help of such vendors as , Exquisite Events Design, Stoneblossom flowers, Artistic Wedding Films  and the staff of The Chanler Hotel.

There were moments of sadness (her mother passed away recently) and also moments of much laughter. A butterfly release, after the ceremony officiated by family friend Father Eric Hollas at St Joseph's Church, became a spiritual symbol to this special day.

Newport Tent Company set up a tent to hold over 200 people on the lawn of The Chanler Hotel. The weather remained perfect until dinner when it began to rain. The Chanler  staff did an amazing job serving the quests despite the rainy conditions.

After dinner everyone young and old danced to the Sultans of Swing in the hotel .

Here is a sampling of some of my favorites from the day.
